- Janus Henderson European Focus Fund Class I (HFEIX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation primarily through a high-conviction, bottom-up investment approach in equity securities of European companies; it normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in such equities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and secondary offerings, with no geographic limits within Europe and flexibility across market capitalizations, growth, and value styles. The fund's portfolio emphasizes sectors such as financial services (29.39%), industrials (21.15%), and technology (14.06%), with top holdings including Erste Group Bank AG, RELX PLC, SAP SE, Novartis AG, and UniCredit SpA, representing approximately 19.87% of assets; it maintains diversification across the Eurozone (67.06%), Europe ex-Euro (18.91%), and the United Kingdom (11.61%). Managed by Robert Schramm-Fuchs (since March 2019) and Marc Schartz (since June 2024) as part of Janus Henderson Investors' Pan European Equities team, the fund targets institutional and individual investors in the United States with a minimum initial investment of $2,500, a net expense ratio of 1.04%, and daily pricing.
Launched on March 31, 2009, and domiciled in the United States, the fund operates within the Europe Stock category and is available for sale exclusively in the U.S. market. It is offered by Janus Henderson Investors, a global asset manager formed in 2017 from the merger of Janus Capital (founded 1969 in Denver, Colorado) and Henderson Global Investors (origins in 1934 in London), with dual headquarters in London, United Kingdom, and Denver, Colorado. The fund benefits from the broader firm's recent strategic expansions, including the October 2024 acquisition of Victory Park Capital to enhance private credit capabilities and a June 2025 partnership with Guardian Life Insurance Company to manage $45 billion in fixed-income assets. In 2024, Janus Henderson consolidated its European investment trusts through the merger of Henderson European Focus Trust and Henderson EuroTrust into Henderson European Trust (completed July 2024), aligning with ongoing efforts to scale European equity strategies, though this did not directly alter the HFEIX mutual fund structure. As of late 2025, the fund manages total net assets of approximately $651.45 million, with the Class I share class at $392.64 million.
